Preliminary Numerical Analysis of a Novel Retaining System in Dry Sandy Soil and Its First Application to a Deep Excavation in Wuhan (China)

A new form of retaining system for use in deep excavations in crowded cities is proposed in this paper. The new system, which we have coined the herringbone retaining system (HRS) involves the use of vertical and batter piles, capping beams, and wales. A numerical study was conducted (using the fini...
